Legacy Holdings, Inc. (LGYH.OB) is a provider of equipment and technology for wafer cleaning, etching and photoresist removal. The equipment and technology is most used within the semiconductor industries. The Company has a patented technology called Green Chemistry, which is an environmentally friendly process for photoresist removal over metal exposed surfaces as well as organic cleaning of any size substrate.

Legacy has other developments to its name. Legacy developed the Coldstrip™ dry process, but it was not compatible with all metal films and lacked sufficient speed in the removal of negative photoresist. Following the Coldstrip™, the Company developed the Organostrip™ technology. The Organostrip™ technology primarily reduced the time cycle of the photoresist process from more than five minutes to three seconds.

Legacy’s technologies provide lower cost in materials, improvement in oxide removal control, superior speed and leave fewer particles behind after cleaning. The company has established partnerships with some of the industry’s largest semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Legacy has targeted the $34 billion annual FAB equipment market and intends to enter a secondary market for photoresist stripping. The company plans to enter this secondary market through partnerships with world leaders in the manufacturing of solder bump deposition equipment. The global wafer fabrication equipment market is expected to reach sales of $40.5 billion in 2008 and the secondary market in solder bump deposition equipment is expected to increase around $142 million by 2009.
